How to cook it

  • Venezuelan sopa de pecho: With cassava, plantain, corn on the cob and potato. 2-3h on a low heat. A classic Sunday dish.
  • Traditional stew: With chickpeas, chorizo and vegetables. 3h on the heat.
  • Quick pressure cooker: 40-45 min with vegetables and spices.
  • Pulled beef (barbacoa): 4h in a low-temperature oven. Shred and serve in bread rolls.

⚡ Tip: Aleta releases a lot of fat as it cooks — skim it well at the start for a clear broth.
